Chapter 343: Xu Hongji set out on an expedition

The Qingliu Cabinet has played a game of chess for hundreds of years, and now that the victory has been achieved, he just fought back. looked at Xu Zhixin beside her, and sighed bitterly in her heart, maybe this is fate, it is destined that the martial artists will be submerged in history.

Sending his son Xu Wenjue out, although it was deliberate, was to make the situation more passive and force the six gangs to loosen up, but why didn't he have the intention of training his son. But all kinds of signs show that his son Xu Wenjue is a piece of mud that can't support the wall. Thinking of his son like this, Xu Hongji was very reluctant, but he had to face the facts, that kid was really not the material to lead the troops to fight.

If you don't know military affairs, you can learn, your ability is poor, and there are people below, but you have a poor temperament, so you really can't change it. Hey, now I can only take one step at a time, the key is to get through the current hurdle first.

In fact, Xu Hongji and Xu Zhixin both understood that the easiest way to keep the power in the hands of the Xu family without being restrained by the six ministries was to be financially self-sufficient in the Governor's Office. It's a pity that if you want to do this, it's not easy to say that, the Governor's Mansion has an army of more than 100,000 people, and the Guogong Mansion can support it for two months and half a year, but if it is raised for a year, then you have to sell the house.

Not to mention that the father and daughter of the Xu family looked sad, and the Nanjing Sixth Department also looked unhappy, and Gu Tongen was the most angry. Cutting off the financial road of the Governor's Mansion and tightening the neck of the Governor's Mansion has achieved very good results, seeing that there are already many generals in the Beijing camp who are showing signs of instability, and suddenly resuming the supply of the Governor's Mansion, isn't this a waste of all the previous efforts?

"If you make up for the money and materials of the Governor's Mansion at this time, with Xu Hongji's ability, it will be very troublesome if you want to tighten your pockets in the future. I'm afraid that this old fox will have a trick to do" Gu Tongen is very unwilling, how can others not be like this?

Du Yu Shi Feiyang smiled bitterly and comforted: "Let's pass the current level first, right now, only Xu Hongji can really control the Beijing camp." Maybe this is the will of God, but most of the young people in my Xu family can't do it, so we don't have to worry too much. Xu Hongji is no matter how difficult it is, how many years can he last? ”

Hearing Fei Yang say this, Gu Tongen's face was not much better. The Xu family has no successor, as long as Xu Hongji is boiled to death, the Xu family will still be finished. The truth is such a truth, but at that time, he Gu Tongen will no longer be in charge of the military department. What's more, judging from his own situation with Xu Hongji, when Xu Hongji can't do it, he Gu Tongen estimates that he will have already become an immortal, and he can't make the flying head grass a foot tall.

What Gu Tongen wants is for the Xu family to fall now, so that he can collect the military power of the Governor's Mansion, and use this credit to return to the power center of Beizhili. Because of these reasons, Gu Tongen's face did not have any joy. The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and Gu Tongen didn't want to be a current person.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally agreed to Xu Hongji's request. At the same time, in order to appease the people of Nanzhili, the military department also severely punished the generals who had failed to fight before. Among them, the most eye-catching is the defeat of Runing Mansion, it can be said that all kinds of accidents in Nanzhili are caused by the defeat of Runing Mansion.

After urgent consultation, they went to various places in Nanjing. Xu Changlu, the chief soldier of Ningguo Mansion, was demoted by one level and received the post of deputy chief soldier, but temporarily replaced the power of the chief soldier with the position of deputy chief soldier. Yue Zicong, the former deputy chief soldier of the Ningguo Mansion, transferred troops privately due to poor command, resulting in the loss of troops in the first battle of Jingangtai Mountain, and he was directly demoted from the deputy chief soldier to the head of the team, and was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Beijing battalion. Jiangzhou garrison Nangong Sen was not properly commanded, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility, but he was seriously injured in his body, and he was not investigated, and he was allowed to go home for the rest of his life.

As soon as this official document came out, the people who didn't know the truth scolded again and again, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Yue Zicong. Now that Xu Changlu is not in Nanjing, and Nangong Sen is also disabled, the anger of the people can only be sprinkled on Yue Zicong. It was only an hour after the official document was posted, and Yue Zicong's house in Nanjing was besieged, and many street ruffians took the opportunity to throw mud and rotten eggs at the gate of Yue's house.

The neighbors who used to be respectful to Yue Zicong also changed, and the eyes of the Yue family became disgusted, and they even scolded them in person. Yue Zicong's wife, Wang, went to the street to buy vegetables, and was sneered at by the neighbors, and the most hateful thing was that the street vendors did not sell the vegetables even though they had them. Wang went home crying, but even so, those people still didn't let him go.

Outside the courtyard of the Yue family's house, an angry crowd was crowded. Liukou took Tongling and ravaged Nanzhili, and the previous peaceful life was gone, and the culprit of all this was Yue Zicong.

In the hall, Yue Zicong was sitting at the table, drinking strong liquor, and on the other side, there was Wang who was constantly sobbing. Yue Zicong was angry in his heart, and he was also extremely aggrieved. Nan Zhili's tens of thousands of troops can escape back half, isn't it the efforts of his Yue and Nangong Sen? After returning to Nanjing, Yue Zicong was also mentally prepared, with Xu Changlu's relationship, he was afraid that he would not have good fruit to eat. But I never thought that those people would be so ruthless in doing things, and they didn't have any affection at all. Runing Mansion was defeated, but all the blame was put on his own person. At this moment, how I wish that it was myself who was missing an arm.

If you lose an arm and leave the military, although you are disabled, at least leave this place of right and wrong, and those people will not embarrass a disabled person. It's good now, being demoted to the head of the team, it's clear that it's an insult, isn't it better to go straight to the end? He was also transferred to the left front battalion of the Governor's Mansion to listen to him, which was to send him to the front line as cannon fodder.

is really ruthless, no matter what, when he was under Xu Changlu, he didn't do anything for him, but this person turned his face ruthlessly, and he didn't leave the slightest emotion. I really want to chop Xu Changlu with a knife and die together, but what about the wife and children at home?

Xu Changlu, how could he not be in Nanjing? He is here, he must be there, with his understanding of Xu Changlu, he finally came back alive, and the surname Xu has to relax a little, and he can't think about which building on the bank of the Qinhuai River at this time.

"Yue Zicong, you bastard, why do you still have the face to come back? Get out, get out of Nanjing, get out of Nanjing", outside the hospital, the scolding is still more and more unstoppable, and it is getting more and more ugly. Yue Zicong's face was pale, and he suddenly slammed the wine glass on the table, stood up suddenly, and wanted to go out.

The Wang family had been guarding beside him, and when he saw this, he hurriedly opened his hand to stop in front of him, and hugged Yue Zicong, "Husband, what are you doing?" ”

"If you go out for your husband and husband, you will meet these people, what is going on at me, when will it be a head?" Yue Zicong's face was furious, how could the Wang family let him go, his hands hugged tighter, "Husband, you can't go out, just endure it, they will scold, don't dare to do anything else"

"It's just that you've been wronged" Yue Zicong gently hugged Wang, and there was a trace of mist in his tiger eyes. Suddenly, he felt so pitiful, and so did the troublemakers outside, all of whom were pawns fooled by some people.

In this way, two days later, the Nanjing Governor's Mansion gathered an army of 50,000 and left Nanjing under the leadership of his grandfather Xu Hongji. The military and civilians of Nanzhili finally saw a glimmer of hope, at least, in everyone's hearts, Xu Hongji was still very powerful. After going out of the city for half a day, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp found a town to rest, Xu Hongji leaned against a wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the young man with a white face and beard next to him was his baby daughter Xu Zhixin.

At this time, Xu Zhixin was dressed in black armor and looked at the letter with a solemn expression. After reading it, Xu Hongji said lightly: "What do you think about the things on the letter?" ”

Xu Zhixin crumpled the letter into a ball and took out a fire fold and burned it. Meimu squinted, thought about it carefully, and said seriously: "Daddy, we don't seem to have a reason to refuse." You can not only retreat from the enemy, but also get a benefit, why not do such a good thing? I'm just worried, can this be done? Before, we hadn't dealt with Tiemo. ”

That's right, the letter was sent to Xu Hongji by Tiemo. The content of the letter is not complicated, it just wants the Jingying army to cooperate and try to scrape oil and water on Gao Yingxiang. Xu Hongji thinks it's very good, because there is really a lack of money, and in these years, there is no Ming general who leads troops to fight without lack of money, and his grandfather Xu is no exception. But Xu Zhixin muttered a little, because she didn't know much about Tiemo.

The great name of Tiemo is like thunder in the Northland, but whoever leads the army, if he doesn't know Tiemo, he must be a fool. Not to mention the Liukou, all of them are scared of Tiemo, and they are privately called the Living Hades.

But in Nanzhili, Tiemo is not famous. It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty is too big, from north to south thousands of miles, it snows in the north, and the south is warm like spring. And Xu Zhixin is not very interested in things in the north, so naturally she has no impression of Tiemo.

Xu Hongji smiled strangely, sat up straight, and said softly: "Don't worry, this person can still be trusted." You can write back to him and say that we will do our best to cooperate. However, the condition is that after two months, the rogues must be driven out of Nanzhili. ”

Xu Zhixin nodded noncommittally, "Well, Daddy, are you too happy to agree, have you heard any rumors before?" ”

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. In fact, I still know a little about Tiemo's father, a few days ago, Old Man Zhang sent someone to send a message, asking his father to cooperate more with this person, looking at Old Man Zhang's attitude, he attaches great importance to this person. Speaking of which, this son is twenty years old, and in Xuanfu, he is also a mythical figure! ”

Xu Hongji saw that Xu Zhixin listened to it with relish, so he told the matter about Tiemo in detail. After hearing this, Xu Zhixin's eyebrows were full of doubts, and the matter about Tiemo was really a little untrue. At a young age, she climbed to the position of the governor of the three provinces, and what made Xu Zhixin even more unwilling to believe it was that a few years ago, this person was just a guard soldier in Xuanhua Mansion.

In a few years, from a guard soldier to the position of governor of the three provinces, none of this is important. The important thing is that most of the soldiers and horses in this person's hands are private soldiers, who are raised by themselves, and the several counties of Yunfu in the north of the Ming Dynasty are all Tiemo's own territory. The power of one person, dominating one side, raising tens of thousands of private soldiers, this is terrible.

With such strength, are you sure that he is only a guard?

Xu Hongji didn't know what his daughter was thinking, what he was thinking about now was what to do next. Soon after, the Jingying army did not go directly south, but suddenly turned west from Lishui County, Yingtianfu, and soon came to Wuhu County in Taiping Province. From Wuhu to the south, it will not be long before you can approach Tongling, but at this time, Xu Hongji waved his hand, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion were stationed in Wuhu.

Where can Nanjing sit still, immediately sent an inquiry, Xu Hongji gave a very simple answer, he has to wait for Xu Wenjue in Wuhu, and after all the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp converge, he will try to Tongling.

The officials of the six ministries knew that there was something wrong here, but they were helpless. When Xu Hongji was in Nanjing, he was able to fight with the officials of the six ministries, but now that he is leading the army, he can't control it. No one among the officials of the six ministries will believe Xu Hongji's statement.

Waiting for Xu Wenjue in Wuhu, what about deceiving ghosts? If you want to join forces, wouldn't it be better to go to Fanchang County in the south? Squatting in Wuhu and others, in case Xu Wenjue doesn't come to Wuhu for half a month, then the army won't move for half a month?

Gu Tongen wandered around the room worriedly, "What does Xu Hongji want to do?" He doesn't want to fight a rogue? ”

Zhu Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be, letting the rogue ravage Nanzhili will not do him any good." Could this matter have anything to do with the Luzhou Mansion? ”

Zhu Jie just said it casually, but it shocked Gu Tongen and the others. yes, how did you forget that ancestor? Others don't know about Tiemo, the officials of the six ministries can understand it very well, Tiemo is a big scourge, the six ministries of the Beizhili Cabinet, so many people, isn't there nothing to do with this person? Hey, since this guy entered the Luzhou Mansion and laid the cold water pass, is he too honest?

Just when the Nanjing officials were pondering Tiemo, Tiemo, who was in Luzhou, was also pondering these officials in Nanjing.

A square table, a few small dishes, Tie Mo ate with relish, "Mr. Wang, you said that if we were to Chen Bing mud the river, but we didn't move, what do you say would be the reaction of those people in Nanjing?" ”

“？？？？” Wang Zuohang pinched the wine glass and smiled bitterly. He really couldn't figure out what his own superintendent was doing in his last life, and it was easy for him to get the idea of disgusting people.

Sending troops to the Nijiang River, it is estimated that the officials of Nanzhili will be very happy. At this time, these people probably can't take care of the view of the door, as long as there are imperial soldiers and horses to take Tongling back, they will go back to burn incense and worship the Buddha and be happy. The Iron Inspector sent troops to the Nijiang River, and everyone was happy, but not long after you were happy, the Iron Inspector gave an order, and the army was stationed on the north bank of the Nijiang River.

What is this like? It's like someone handed you a piece of delicious osmanthus cake when you were the most hungry, and when you opened your mouth to eat, the person withdrew his hand, hid the osmanthus cake in his sleeve, and said to you seriously: "Lao Tzu teased you, but he didn't let you eat it!" ”

Who is this, isn't this cheap?
